SFE S580 Analogue Two-Way Radio

Description

The SFE S580 is built from the ground up to conquer the most challenging communication environments. Encased in a heavy-duty, impact-resistant polycarbonate housing mounted on a rigid aluminum die-cast frame, this non-display radio handles severe drop impacts, vibrations, and physical abuse with ease. It stands out in its class for pushing up to 5 watts of raw RF output power, maximizing communication range and penetration through dense concrete barriers or industrial steel structures. Backed by a powerful internal acoustic amplifier and an exceptionally long-lasting battery pack, the S580 ensures that your workforce remains seamlessly and safely connected through the longest work shifts.

Features

KEY OPERATIONAL FEATURES
Industrial Durability Rugged construction designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments. The weather-resistant housing helps protect internal components against dust, moisture splashes and everyday handling.
High-Power Audio Output Optimised acoustic chamber design and a high-performance internal speaker provide clear voice communication in noisy workplaces, including factories, warehouses and outdoor industrial sites.
CTCSS / DCS Signalling Supports 50 CTCSS tones and 105 DCS codes, allowing radio groups to filter unwanted co-channel transmissions and reduce unnecessary audio interruptions from nearby radio users.
VOX Hands-Free Operation Voice-Operated Transmission (VOX) functionality supports hands-free communication when used with compatible headsets or earpieces, allowing operators to communicate without manually pressing the Push-To-Talk button.
Intelligent Battery Management Automatic power-saving standby functionality helps conserve battery energy during periods of inactivity. Low-battery LED and audible alerts notify users when the battery requires recharging.
Time-Out Timer (TOT) Programmable transmission time-out timer automatically stops transmissions that exceed the configured duration, helping prevent accidental channel occupation, excessive battery consumption and prolonged transmission.
